HAWKINS, J.

Appellant went to trial upon a complaint and information charging him with cutting ‍‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‍timber on land not his own, and without the owner’s consent. We find in the record a verdict finding him guilty and assessing a fine of $20. ‍‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‍If any judgment was ever entered on said verdict, the record fails to show it.

Furthermore, it is not shown that any notice of appeal was ever given, ‍‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‍or entered of record. Without notice of appeal this court has no jurisdiction. Article 827, C. C. P.; Palmer v. State, 63 Tex. Cr. R. 614, 141 S. W. ‍‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‍109. For further authorities, see notes under article 827, Vernon’s C. C. P., vol. 3, p. 197.

Even if notice of appeal was shown by the record, it ‍‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‍does not show a judgment from which an appeal would lie.

The appeal is dismissed.
